Bad Food Dogs Can’t Eat

Bad Food for Dogs

There are some things that we eat that should never be shared with your canine companion.. no matter how cute they are when they beg. Be Tough.. don’t give in. For the most part, these things can really upset their digestive tract, or even cause serious allergic reactions. In my opinion, if it didn’t come out of the dog food bag, you need to look it up before you give people food to your pets. If you have any questions, please check with your vet. For instance.. did you know that fresh fruit makes an excellent snack for pets, too? Just be sure to avoid the seeds in apples and grapes, especially. They are actually poisonous to animals. While reading about bad food dogs can’t eat, you might want to print this out. Some of these things may seem silly to you now, but you need to be aware of the dangers to your pet that are right there on your kitchen table. Have a chat with the kids, too. Make sure they know what they can and can’t give your pets. As they say, a pound of prevention is worth a pound of cure…and some of these things don’t have cures!

Human Stuff “they” say our pets shouldn’t have

To be very honest, there are a few things that made the lists during my research, that I have questions about. But, I want to make you aware of what I’ve read and heard through the years. I honestly believe that you need to chat with your vet about this stuff before you give in to the temptation of treating your pet from your plate!
